Apartheid Museum - The museum is excellent and gives you a much deeper understanding of apartheid and details of life in South Africa during that time. It showed what it took to change the political system .

Great history! - I enjoyed learning about the history here. Although there were certain parts that were hard to watch such as videos of racism and violence, I’m glad that I visited. Overall, it was a great history lesson. There is also a great shop at the end with very reasonable prices for t-shirts.
